- back_from_away — i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny 11:28
unrelated but how do you celebrate this without it being about food
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
FLOW reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
kept 8 of it off for 25 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
brilliant a1c
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
thats the win
coming back to this hit 29 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
Archive lookup: night_pin first appears in this channel on 2026-03-18.
the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night, ask me again in a month
quick one does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available, we shall see
thats not showing off

congrats
📉1
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
i was down 17 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
good bp move
thats brilliant
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting

down 85 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine

slow is fine
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust

half a stone in 33 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
[edited]well done
